Our Excel-based Construction Cost Estimate Template simplifies project cost estimating for contractors, construction companies, engineers, builders, and construction managers. You can use it for construction estimating, cost analysis, making bids, and professional quotes, but also for evaluating different solutions in the construction project-making phase - for example, one job can be done in several different ways, with different materials, machines, and workforce types. With our spreadsheet, you can easily compare different project solutions.
WHY USE OUR TEMPLATE?
Many people in the construction industry use Microsoft Excel for estimating project costs because it's easy to use and offers useful tools for organizing and calculating data. However, most Excel estimating templates are too simple - they lack advanced functionalities that can be found in expensive cost estimating software. Our MB Estimating Spreadsheet bridges this gap, offering the best of both worlds: the simplicity of Excel and the power of professional estimating software - it provides users with a comprehensive tool for accurate and efficient cost estimation in construction projects.

Easy-to-use interface, detailed INSTRUCTIONS on how to use the template, and a lifetime support are included with your purchase.
With this template, you can create your own DATABASE of materials, labor, and machines, easily access multiple database entries at once, and create estimates very quickly.

You can, of course, continue filling the database with over 1000000 rows of your construction material and labor items, which you can use throughout every new phase or project, so there is no need to insert the database items repeatedly.
